Mohsen Subhi is a Palestinian musician who plays the Oud as part of a quintet. I was fortunate enough to attend his concert at Al Kasaba Theatre and Cinematheque in Ramallah last night. [If you click the second link, I think it's his music which is currently playing]. It was a wonderful concert, and the full house was very appreciative. It was also interesting to see who attends these types of cultural events - lots of internationals who are in town for one reason or another (and this includes Palestinians living abroad) and a kind of local cultural elite (even though tickets were very reasonably priced at 20 shekels).
At the swimming pool this morning there was a lizard in the pool! It would try to swim every so often, but it didn't get very far. It eventually got scooped up in the net and thrown out. That's what happens when you don't buy a ticket!
Finally, among all the other innocent Palestinians who have died in the past few weeks, four more residents of Gaza died at the Rafah Border yesterday, where they have been prevented from entering their homeland. It's sickening to see all the "EU condemnation" of the Hezbollah raid today, while things such as this are completely ignored, depsite urgent Red Cross warnings.
